UNITED STATES AND WORLD AFFAIRS
THE NEUTRALITY LAW CONFLICTING ATTITUDES. Received Oct. 14, 6.34 p.m. NEW YORK, Oct. 13. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says that an opinion is prevalent that President Roosevelt, by calling a special session, risked the embarrassment of a delicate stage in foreign affairs. It is certain that Congressmen, despite the President’s implied desire for a free hand, offer many resolutions and Bills relating to the Sino-Japanese warfare. Peace organisations and also several Congressmen are demanding more rigid neutrality. On the contrary, others want to repeal the neutrality legislation. Senator Logan (Democrat, Kentucky), declares that the Neutrality Law is foolish, and urged a collective blockade of Japan by the fleets of the world Powers.
Meanwhile, an interesting sidelight is that Mrs. Roosevelt has written a fifty-page book discussing steps whereby world peace could be achieved.
